[[spoiler: Except, they didn't. Ben's attempt to kill the Intern to eliminate the loose end of a mole in the organization without John's knowledge wound up provoking the Intern into cleaning house when the attempt went sideways, with John's team winding up dead and their bodies ditched in an elevator shaft before the "Tom" plan even had the opportunity to go into effect.]]

Ultimately, at the end of the episode [[spoiler:he receives a recording from Miles explaining that the suicide was, in fact, real. He did it to save John, as Crowley had ordered him to kill him and it was the only way of possibly keeping the op going. Crowley has control of Miles's company, Arda Analytics, which is how he was able to fake the messages in the backchannel app.]]

* A recurring joke and story arc in season 4 of ''Series/SiliconValley'' is Jian Yang faking Bachmann's death to steal his home and assets. When Bachmann goes to Tibet Jian Yang has his uncle, a corrupt Chinese official, falsify a death certificate for him. When shipping a cadaver to China and back ("is hard to find white body in China, especially fat like Eric") proves too expensive, Jian Yang buys a dead pig ("closest to fat human") and cremates it, then passes the ashes off a Bachmann's remains. Hilariously he never tries to hide what he's doing and openly tells people about it, but they're so used to him saying [[FunnyForeigner weird nonsense]] that they just shake it off.

He offers these items as proof to his boyfriend Louis de Pointe du Lac and his vampire daughter Claudia that he has fulfilled their stipulation that he murder his mistress if he wishes to be part of their family again. However, because Claudia has a habit of [[StalkerWithoutACrush stalking Lestat]] and doesn't trust him, she convinces Louis to accompany her after Lestat leaves to go hunting (or so he claims).
